Ever feel guilty about not being able to give money to your favorite charity, organization or local school? It is time to put aside that guilt, because there are other ways of giving that are just as effective. Read on to learn how to give to charities without going broke.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Internet connection
Paper and pen

Step 1

Use the website Good Search for your entire web searching needs, because it generates revenue for the cause of your choice. The money comes from companies who advertise on their website, not from your pocket.
Step 2

Become a library reader or a tutor once a week at a local school. Whether or not you have children in the school district, most schools are always looking for volunteers.
Step 3

Clean your closet. Go through old shoes and clothing to see what you can give away to those in need. Donate them to a local Goodwill or other organization.
Step 4

Start a fundraiser for a specific organization and get others to donate money. Or involve the community in a walk for the American Heart Association.
Step 5

If you want to donate money to an organization, limit the amount you spend per year and choose a different organization, charity or school to support each year.
